There is a story buried deep in Midland folk lore, deeper than any producing zone, farther down the Wolf camp, way past the Sprayberry, it story very seldom told. However most Midlanders know it well and can coaxed into talking about it. *takes deep breath* here we go…. at one time Midland had not one, but two. Wienerschnitzel locations. One as located the corner of Illinois and Midkiff, and other was Loop 250 and Midland drive. For years the places slung out hot dogs, chili dogs, corn dogs, and burgers. Both staples during some really lean years, through late 80’s and into the 90’s they were strongholds and temples built the continued worship of All American Hot Dog. Then one sad day, the roasters and chili pots were turned off and unplugged for good. Bye bye Miss American Pie drove my Chevy to Levy but the Levy was dry. Ok so maybe the music didn’t die, but the hot dog sure did. However on this darkest of days, one small glimmer of hope emerged and it one mustard seed of faith have gotten from day in 1996 this day in 2016. Wienerschnitzel left it sign on Loop 250 standing. It has been right here with us long cold days of winter, and the scorching hot days of summer. It has stood tall and always reminded us, that one day Wienerschnitzel will come back. It was right here with us both of George W. Bush and Barack Obama’s terms. I do feel sorry for lone travelers saw that beacon of hope, exited on Midland drive to find several restaurants, few very deep potholes, but no Wienerschnitzel. Well the wait is almost over, I understand that new Wienerschnitzel is built at 5313 W. Loop 250 N. Will Midlanders give past and let them back into lives? Aren’t scared are 6 months and the take off again? I personally still hurt that they left in first place. It didn’t work in 1996 who thinks it will work in 2016?
New Address – 5313 W. Loop 250 N.
